Often it's the language that best solves the problem at hand
for you, but it really depends on what you want to achieve. For
fast scripting and modelling maybe Python would be a good
choice. But Python can be a dead end when it comes to
performance etc. If you want to develop apps for Android/iOS
you're better off using Java or better still Kotlin (Android)
and Swift (iOS). You should always decouple the business logic
of your app from the UI. So you can write code in C/C++ or D
and later link it to any UI. Anyway, always think of where you
want to go, e.g. portability / cross-platform and see what best
suits you. If you wanna go mobile use a language that runs on
mobile platforms like Android and iOS. If you want to write for
desktop or server only you have more choices. Unfortunately,
Android/iOS support for D leaves much to be desired.
I have some real-world situation I want to model but I am at a
loss as to how to start. For instance, I do one build a GUI
framework like adobe spark, javafx,etc with minimum dependency
or no dependency from the ground up.
The lack of easily customizable, platform native GUI in D is a
real concern to me but I don't have the expertise to do it.
There is DlangUI: https://github.com/buggins/dlangui Check it
out. And there are D bindings to other UI frameworks.
Where is the starting point of doing such amazing thing?
The truth of the matter is that you only know after years of
programming what you need and what you don't need. As you get
wiser you become less excited about the latest fancy feature of
language X. Basically all languages have similar core features
to model the world and solve problems (hash maps, arrays,
structs, classes etc.) Just start to write programs that solve
problems and enjoy...
Thanks for your reply
Thanks, I have check dlangui, it is not native go window at
least. The display is poor and the fonts worse. I can even center
the window on the screen. We notice the designer for a month now
no reply. Skinning and theming is an issue too.
I want customizable GUI toolkit like JavaFX and adobe spark
framework in D.
I just can find any. I don't know to link D code with any GUI if
not I would have gone with JavaFX or adobe spark
Does, it means being a good programmer does not depend on any
language? Does it imply being comfortable in any language of
choice and domain of interest?
Thanks for the reply
